TO ALL WHOM IT MAY GONGERN:

Be it known that l, HERY W. PELL, of Rome, in the county of neida, and State of New York, have invented a. new end useful mprovement in Draught-Attachments for Harvesters; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exnet description ot' the same, reference being` had to the accompanying drewings, rrhielx are mede a. part of this specification.

Figure 1 is a plan of a, portion of a harvester, illustrating my draught-attachment, a portion ofthe tongue being removed to expose parte below it.

Figure 2 is a. side elevation.

Similar letters of reference represent corresponding parts in the two figures.

The subject of this invention is anlattsehmentfor ohrinting side draught, end et the same time permittingJ the cutting-zipperetus toconnrrn freely to inequalities in the surface of tliegronnd.

n the drawings, A represents the tongue of the machine, B the mein frame, and C the nger-br and cutting-apparatus, ell of which. may oe of common construction. D is n segmental strap, rigidly secured beneath the tongue by bolts, EE, passing through bosses, ci' CZ, whicllsuiey or may not be east or forged in one piece with the strep, and serve to hold the strep :ttthe necessary distance from the tongue to accommodate the wheelsffo' e carriage, F, which is mounted on an arm, G, pivoted et g to the outer end of' n. bracket, H,

rigidly secured et h to the ends oi' the strep D, and projecting laterally therefrom. The free end of the erm y G projects to a distance on the opposite side of the tongue, and is perforated at g to receive the draught-chain i', which is connected to the mein frame or shoe. J represents the whiile-tree bolt projecting rigidly from the marriage F and pivot-eci :1r-:n G. K represents e double-tree or evener mounted on the said bolt.

By means ci the chain attached to the free end of the lever G, the draught muy he applied te the main me and cutting-apparatus in any line or direction desired, and thestrap D, forming e guide-wey `for the ear- ;.snge F of the lever G, allows the latter to work freely forward and backward, so es to relieve the pressure of the ber on the ground, nml cause it to conform to inequalities and pass over obstructions and uneven surfaces with freedom and ease. I Y

Hering thus described my invention, what claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Potent, is-

ll. .The segment-nl strep or Zguide-way l). mounted on the tongue A, in combination with the lever G, snbetontielly es set forth.

2. The lever G, in combination with the drought-chain I, connected to the frame B, substantially es and for the purposes speeiied.

3. Mounting t'ue whiilietree bolt in line with the tongue, or nearly' so, upon the centre of s lever fulcrnmeo. et one enti, :md et the other connected by n draught-chain t0 the frame of the machine, substantially es descrihed.
